We love making fiction. It’s what kickstarted our passion for looking at the world through a lens.

We bring on the same crew for every Mad Heron production because they share in our obsession. So, if you’re looking for a team to take on the huge responsibility of bringing your next film to life, look no further, you’ve found the right kind of maniacs for the job!

All great documentaries express a core truth about the world around us. At Mad Heron we’ve produced films that bring light to underrepresented, quieter stories that often go unnoticed.
